''Melibe'' is a genus of sea slugs, nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tethydidae.〔Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2012). Melibe Rang, 1829. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138547 on 2012-10-12〕 Most nudibranchs are carnivores, but their prey is usually sessile or slow-moving animals such as sponges or bryozoans. In contrast, ''Melibe'' is an active predator which traps fast-moving free-swimming animals such as small crustaceans, using its extendable oral hood.
